I see you posting this type of thing repeatedly in different threads, but I don't really get it.
First- it's wrong. The GS2 first shipped at the end of May. If it hits here end of August, that's 3 months.
Second- who cares? Compare the specs of the GS2 with the Bionic, and they are at least comparable. Why does it matter that this phone released elsewhere 3 months ago, if the "new" phones releasing around the same time as the GS2 aren't any better, or are even inferior. Being 3 months old doesn't make it any less competitive.
I'm still deciding on which near-term Verizon release I'll be upgrading to. But, if anything, the fact that the phone has been tested by millions of users for a few months is a point in its favor when comparing it against the "new" competition.
I have to agree with that. I rather have a device that is a good device and 3 months old and getting great reviews, then buy something new on opening day. Because of how the tbolt turned out (it was ranked the #1 worse device to purchase...it was mentioned with the motorola citrus:'( mainly because of all the software issues) I will be waiting for reviews from users for now on and not jump on the hype wagon. The SGS2 great reviews and hopefully it translate over to the vzw version...if not I could see people rioting if vzw take a good device like that and turning it into the fascinate.
